Lu Ke said calmly, "Knowing that the other party will definitely reject me, why should I wait for their rejection? Sorry, I don't like to be pathetic."

Cipher gritted his teeth: "That's because I'm cheap, I'm cheap, okay? Damn it, I should have bitten that thing off you this afternoon."

On the phone, Seifer spoke through gritted teeth, his voice piercingly menacing.

"cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Sitting across from her, seemingly engrossed in eating her pancakes and steak, but actually listening intently to the phone call, Lorna was completely stunned by the words coming from the other end.

Lu Ke looked up, his brow twitching slightly.

Lorna quickly grabbed the water glass next to her, took a big gulp, and then swallowed the beef that was almost stuck in her throat.

then……

Lorna stared intently at Luke across from her with Sharingan eyes that conveyed a mixture of shock, disbelief, disappointment, and disbelief.

She seemed to be saying...

WTF!

Does your sister-in-law Rachel know you're doing this?

wrong.

How can you do this to Sister Rachel?

At this moment, Lorna felt that the glorious image she had painstakingly built for her brother after losing her memory was beginning to crumble.

Luke stopped Lorna from overthinking in time. Meeting Lorna's scrutinizing gaze, which seemed to be on the verge of questioning, he said expressionlessly to Cipher on the other end of the phone, "Have you vented yet?"

Cipher replied coldly, "No, you can keep hanging up on me then."

Lu Ke hung up the phone immediately and put it aside.

Lorna, sitting opposite, was dumbfounded.

She had initially thought the girl on the other end of the phone was the infamous third party.

but……

Lu Ke's behavior made her wonder if she had guessed wrong.

After all, shouldn't the mistresses that men find be the kind who fawn over them in every way?

There's no such thing as hanging up the phone so easily.

In TV dramas, aren't all the men so attentive to their mistresses? None of them hang up the phone like Lu Ke did.

Did I misunderstand my brother?

Lorna blinked, unable to resist looking across at Luke, who was eating his pancake while ignoring the phone ringing again. She couldn't help but speak up.

"elder brother."

"What's wrong."

"just……"

Just as Lorna was about to ask a question, the phone rang again.

She couldn't help but say, "Why don't you accept it again?"

no way.

The phone is too noisy.

She had finally managed to organize her thoughts on how to begin, but this phone call completely ruined everything.

Luke glanced at Lorna, then answered the call again, this time without giving Cipher a chance to speak, lest Cipher reveal some bombshell information over the phone.

“Sefer, if you don’t want to cooperate, I don’t blame you. We can still be friends.”

"If you decide to cooperate."

"can."

"Watch the evening news in Colombia. After watching the news, you'll know how we need to cooperate."

"Bye!"

The words fell.

Luke hung up the phone again, and this time, to prevent Cipher from calling to harass him again, he turned off his phone. Then he looked up at Lorna.

"What were you about to ask?"

"..."

Lorna opened her mouth as she watched Luke hang up the phone without hesitation.

then……

shook his head.

How could he be so cruel to a woman?

Ok.

It must have been some other call; maybe I'm just imagining things. It couldn't have been from the mistress.

Lorna thought to herself, then met Luke's gaze and gave him a bright smile.

"I wanted to ask if Rachel's show starts at 7 o'clock?"

"Correct."

Luke looked at Lorna with some curiosity.

He realized that the question Lorna wanted to ask was unlikely to be this, but after thinking about it, he didn't press the matter further. He glanced at his watch and said, "Five minutes left."

In the hotel room.

"boom!"

"You bastard!"

Wearing a black lace nightgown, Cipher, hearing the dial tone indicating that the call could not be connected, finally lost her temper. She grabbed a water glass next to her and smashed it to the side.

The water glass shattered with a crack.

The expression on Cipher's face was one of utter rage, as if he wanted to tear Luke to the bone.

"What good man from the East?"

"What kind of bullshit gentleman is this?"

"You're an asshole."

"Use people when you need them, and discard them when you don't."

"You piece of shit!"

Cipherna's prominent breasts undulated with anger, his teeth clenched as he stared at the phone on his desk: "You want me to watch your fiancée's live stream? In this world, probably only a bastard like you would do something like that."

She was furious and couldn't understand what Lu Ke's position or power was behind saying that.

Alexander Pierce gave up on him.

Now that he's all alone to face Daniel Whitehead's wrath, shouldn't he ally with Dr. Zola? Otherwise, what makes him think he can withstand Daniel Whitehead's anger?

Cipher ran his long fingers through his hair, tidied it up, and then stared at his phone again.

next second.

She smiled.

When anger reaches its extreme, it turns into laughter.

"Okay."

"Watch your fiancée's live stream."

"it is good."

"I see."

Cipher's eyes gleamed as he walked out of the study: "I want to see where this sister gets her charm that can rival mine."

In terms of appearance and temperament.

The emperor was no less capable than anyone else.

At seven o'clock in the evening.

Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) evening news has officially launched.

As the evening news cutscene appeared on time, Rachel and a male presenter sitting on the left appeared on the screen after the screen lit up.

Formal news broadcasts are usually presented with one male host and one female host.

“Luke, look, Rachel.”

"Ah."

Luke, who was sitting on the sofa with Lorna and watching the evening news on time, nodded calmly as he watched Rachel appear on the screen and listened to Lorna's somewhat excited words, while drinking his after-dinner bourbon.

"Welcome to tonight's evening news."

"I am Rachel."

On screen, Rachel is exquisitely beautiful and exudes confidence to the extreme.

She believed that with Luke's exclusive scoop, her debut tonight would be a huge success.

Lu Ke leaned back on the sofa, his eyes lowered in thought.

He was pondering what the chances were that after Cypher saw the news and heard the bombshell revelations, Dr. Zola would choose to cooperate with him.

The information Lu Ke provided was actually quite simple.
